Malaga

Málaga is a port city in Andalusia, southern Spain, on the Costa del Sol coast of the Mediterranean. Málaga is surrounded by mountains, lying in the southern base of the Axarquía hills, and two rivers, the Guadalmedina and the Guadalhorce, which flows west of the city into the Mediterranean.

The climate is mild and equable, the mean annual temperature being about 19ºc (66ºF). For its broad sky and wide bay the city has been compared to Naples. The inner city of Málaga is just behind the harbour. The quarters of El Perchel, La Trinidad and Lagunillas surround this centre. The city has much revenue from the agricultural sector and from tourism. The Holy Week and the Málaga Fair ("Feria de Málaga") are the two most well-known of Malaga's festivals.
